Windows 10: How to find User Name and Network credentials in Windows 10

I am trying to network 2 PC's both using Win 10 both have the same name, and same password but I am asked for the Network Credentials - Username and Password.


I have no idea where they are. How can I find them?


Thank you,

Network credentials?

I had the same problem. It looks like Microsoft has discontinued support for Homegroups, which I think is what made it crop up for me. I tried dozens of fixes I found posted all over the internet until I ran across one which makes sense and worked for
me.

I have three Windows 10 computers on the same network. They all see each other (under Windows Explorer "Network") but when I tried to access them I was prompted for "network credentials" which never worked.

First I turned off and disabled Homegroups on all three computers. I used the procedure from

here. Then I restarted all three.

Then on each of the computers I did this:

• Search for "credentials" and start Credential Manager.
  
• Select Windows Credentials.
• Either Edit or create a Windows credential for the other two computers. Be sure the User Name is your Windows login name (account name?) and re-enter your Windows login password even if one is shown.

You may need to enter your credentials the first time you access another computer across the network after this, but check "remember my credentials" and you shouldn't have to again.

I had garbage user names and passwords in Credential Manager for some reason, but when I cleaned them up like this all was well.

manager.

• Press the Windows icon on the desktop.
